Pokemon: It Starts with a Centipede

The mainstream of Pokémon novels is characterized by action, warmth, and strong bonds, with the protagonist acquiring a series of unique companions during their adventures. This novel seems to be wrapped in a Pokémon shell, like two novels from different worlds fused together, with a strong Lovecraftian feel. If the author were to switch genres, they could take inspiration from *The Bizarre Detective Agency*.
